Date Reviewed: November 19, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | None at all | | Weaknesses: | Spring is terrible. The arms are cheap aand heavy. The hardware is cheap and heavy. | | Similar Products Used: | Avid 1.0's | | Bike Setup: | GC AIM | | Bottom Line: | What junk. Set up is IMPOSSIBLE! The spring is so weak it's incredible. Use AVIDs and be happy. Trust me it's not the levers. I got so fed up with these things rubbing my rims and losing up I had to get rid of them. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Cheap | | Weaknesses: | No matter how much adjustment done to it. The spring wpould not hold hold harm aand it keep rubbing my rim | | Bottom Line: | This brake came with my Giant Iguana.The back brake was the broken first. The springs just would not hold the pad and it keep on rubbing my rim no matter how much adjustment. I just paid new Deore v-brake and my system is working properly. Would not recommend this brakes to anyone | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

The won't break | | Weaknesses: |
They won't brake. | | Similar Products Used: |
LX V-brakes, Dia-Compe 747 | | Bike Setup: |
Specialized Ground Control | | Bottom Line: | I just spent the last hour trying to get these pieces of poop working on a friend's bike. Could be the levers, too, but anyhow the back brakes barely even work at all. Even though I'm a neophyte mechanic I can tell you there are better brakes that probably don't cost much more. | Overall Rating: |
